HerbWessel Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Roger I agree with you on the use of the term restored. The same thing applies to my other hobby, tractors. What bugs me is the term "original miles". Which miles on a car are original? I have a truck with 350,000 miles. Which ones are original. I submit the only original mile on a vehicle is the first one. After that they are all the same. What they really mean is "actual miles" and this is the term that should be used.

JB-ed Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 By "original" I think they are trying to say "first time around the odometer." Early cars only registered 99,999 miles and then started over. So an odometer showing 12,000 is "original" if it is believed that the car traveled actually 12,000 and not 112,000. We need another word for this.
